[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Philip:
I am running TomTom V7.915 on my Touch HD.

It is working fine

except

that I have the Windows Title Bar superimposed on the TomTom window. As TomTom is (correctly) displaying in full screen, this is rather annoying.

Anybody else had this problem or know of a solution?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fastronnie1964:
same

got the same thing, very :mad:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ice_maan:
i got same problem... but only when gyrotater is active. otherwise when there is no screen rotation active full screen works fine.

i think its problem with screen rotation..

what i would like to know is that out of all of those who have flashed custom rom - does tomtom rotate without probs????
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ardsar:
On the stock rom, the problem is caused by the ratation software. I tried several, all had the same effect.

I have not seen this issue with Dutty's ROM's.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrKaon:
Upgrade your phone to new ROM (look at my sig)

It has a build inside rotation program (Flip it) which is allows you to rotate even manila.

I always rotate manila to landscape mode and then run the tomtom.
[General Questions and Answers] Phoebuscy:
Hello.

A weird thing started happening with my (unmodded) ASUS P750 recently and I can't figure out why or what's causing it but I'm guessing a simple registry fix might do the trick.

The problem is that when attempting to change from photo to video mode it brings up the 'Pictures & Videos' software (the one that ships with WM), making it impossible to record video.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] magicalan:
Hi i was in ppcgeeks today and i was looking at the wm 6.5 custon taskbar threat and i saw this

and i was like if anybody makes this development or if anybody can find it since as u can c its are been made but in chinys or japanese to make it into english i will REALLY appreciated.

thanks in advance :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dwizzy130:
This honestly wouldn't be that hard to replicate. All you need to do is edit the .cpr files for the lockscreen. I'll see what I can do.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] magicalan:
wow thank you very much :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MrDSL:
deleted....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dwizzy130:
Judging by the title of the thread I just assumed he was talking about the lock and not the taskbar but I could be wrong... OP can you confirm?

dwizzy130
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] magicalan:
yeah it was the clock and the slider also the notifications (obvsuly to make it work)

the icons on the tab are cool but still lol :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lorin.bute:
Looks realy nice. It would be great to have such a lock screen.
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
Anyway to change this to show weather from weatherbug.com? I would like it to match the weatherbug app.
[G1 Apps and Games] meggle:
nice work, exactly what I was looking for :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
thanks, I hope it will merged the 'official' version ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
I mean for person use... how would I go about changing it? If at all possible
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
If you personnaly change the widget code, yes, no problem, you can ! :D
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
Well thanks for the help! Lol but anyway new request, anyway to change the update frequency? Maybe like once an hour? Or maybe give options?
[G1 Apps and Games] zer0day:
Nice work. Would it be possible to add an option for showing temp in celcius? Also, I've run into a reproduceable bug.

Steps:

1) Add widget (not small one) with location "London" and lang en.

2) Save and wait for info to load

3) Click the widget

4) Click one of the days on the pop up menu (might need to do it more then once)

Crashes with the following exception:

If the modified source is made available, I'd be happy to patch it for showing temp in different formats and to fix the exception.
[G1 Apps and Games] beartard:
iirc, the weather widget doesn't give current temp, but the day's highs and lows. updating every hour wouldn't help much.
[G1 Apps and Games] zrubi:
Thank you very much, works perfect for me :-)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I know ;)

it was what I mean by "Knows regressions : - no many details from details panel" in my first post.

I think, I'll have to remove the "click" possibility in this menu (I don't have any url with more weather details at this time).

you just have to found the good "language" I think.
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
I know but the backgound images change & it would be nice to look at my phone at say 9pm & not see a big sun in the backgound & it still says mostly sunny when its darker than batmans cape outside
[G1 Apps and Games] vihil:
FWIW this seems not to work with jf-adp1.5

[e] i was wrong! sorry.. it was force closing previously when i clicked on it in widget selection. but then i tried it again after some time (i think there was a reboot inbetween) it worked :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
strange... what append ? exception ?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
If you want a configuration for UK, you have to use "en-GB" in language ;)

english language / celcius temp !
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
update (b04)

modification : protection avoid details clicking/exception
[G1 Apps and Games] Phawkes:
I'd like to know how to install the .apk file i have please. can anyone let me know?
[G1 Apps and Games] wyinsz:
A choice for ℃ display in both size is required.

the tiny one can display ℃.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I see.

Medium is OK, Tiny isn't... I'll correct it.
[G1 Apps and Games] millowster07:
Go into Google Maps and turn Latitude on. Should work.
[G1 Apps and Games] yeticomes:
I really like that tiny widget but I still have the problem that the icon does not match with the real weather conditions at the moment and the icon which is used at the google weather side ... @ the G1 I have always rain and with google it is sunshine.

When I tap the widget it shows the sun icon eg for wednesday so it exists. Also it updates the temperature every 1 hour I think.

I installed b21 after removing b12 and use a fix location ... any idea?

Thanks for the good work!
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
103b1 is out !

should correct most location update problems !

for google weather conditions, I never noticed any problem ... strange

if you launch an update, it updates temperatures AND all forecast.

since 103b1, it should no longer be needed.

it should works ! try it ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] biAji:
Wow! update again!!

I submit a bug issue~ please check it out.
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
thanks for the new update.

One thing I'm noticing is that the updates aren't consistent. I have the widget set to update every 1 hour and sometimes I don't see the update come in.

For example:

I think that the icon changes from night to day at 8a, and since I have my update coming in every hour I should see a day icon between 8a-9a when my next update comes in, but I'm still seeing the night icon.
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
Also, auto update still doesn't seem to be working correctly.

I just tried it. I'm in a different city and did a manual refresh, but the new city isn't updated.

I still have to go to google maps, update my location and then refresh the widget for the new city to be displayed.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I have the same problem at this time.

I think there is a problem with google geocoder server (to give location name from position).

Here are log messages :

06-11 21:56:28.148: ERROR/ConfigureActivity(689): Problem using geocoder

No answer from google server .... I can't do anything.

I had the same yesterday during few minutes, and it went up.
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
What api does Google maps use. That seems to work.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
That's really strange, to test, I set an update period of 1 minute. It often works, but somtime, I have an exception...

If you can test my current code and help me, I'll be very happy...

EDIT : it doesn't seems to be the first time. I'll have to add a retry mecanism. :( cf http://www.anddev.org/geocoder-t904.html
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
Sure I can help test...

You can send me a private message if you'd like..

I think the issue is that if google maps can get my new location, then sky widget international should be able to as well.

There are times when google maps can't pinpoint my location, if so then I don't expect the widget to get it either and just use the previous location for the weather.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
The problem is not to get the location : it works since few versions I think (I seems to be refreshed in my different test). The problem is :

- when i update, i get the new location, and I ask to geocoder to get location name

- if geocoder failure (sometime), I stop, and I don't store the new location (not usefull because I can't get location name).

Geocoder CAN be used by googlemaps, but only if you use search engine I think (location name -> location position)
[G1 Apps and Games] biAji:
I submit it in google code, and it's better rise this here:

Have you tried to set GB2312 instead of UTF-8 in the configuration panel ?

And you're right, I never use the HTTP header content for this decoding job.
[G1 Apps and Games] biAji:
Yes, I tried to set GBK and GB2312..

But the question is, if I use edge connection provided by Chinamobile, google will return the content in UTF-8 encoding while use wifi get GBK encoding.

So, you can see what drive me mad

new version Sky-International-Koxx-103b2.apk

- improve update mecanism (tested during 1 day without googlemaps ou locale location request)

- full transalation in french (for french guys like me ... lol)

- add update filure indicator on medium & large views (an "*" will be show in the upper righ corner of widget to show update failure)

- if update fails, request next update faster
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
First post still has the link to 103b1
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
oups ... corrected, thanks !
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
You might want to check out js weather on the market.

http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.jimstar.weather

it does the location tracking pretty reliably and includes most of the features that you are planning on implementing already.

I like your widget better because its less resource intensive and exits from memory after it updates.

Js weather has a process and service running all the time which takes up valuable RAM and slows the phone down.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
new release !!!!!

new version Sky-International-Koxx-104.apk

- add skin support from sdcard !

- add a pseudo HTC skin ;) as ressources file !

to use skin :

- unzip the ressource file at sdcard root (correct structure in ZIP file)

- configure the widget to use the skin (exemple : "htc" or "default"). If you want internal skin, leave blank !

result :
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
So where it is?

:-)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
lol... give me 2 minutes :D

done ;)

on first page
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
New skin is very nice.
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
The location tracking still isn't working correctly.

If I manually refresh my location the 1st time, it doesn't get my location. But if I immediately manually refresh it the 2nd time, the location gets updated correctly.

Here's the logcat.
[G1 Apps and Games] Seoulboy1:
I'm diggin the new skin. This is by far the best weather widget for android by a mile. Thank you so much for your awesome work on this.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Hello,

here is the well-known problem :

line 91 : Problem using geocoder .... java.io.IOException: Unable to parse response from server

It meens : no answer from google server.

by the way: how did you cat the logcat ? where it is in memory structure ?

always the same problem, google server seems to be very busy or something like that. That's very strange. I maid test during all the day, and something it doesn't work during few minutes, and it's back.

I next days, I'll have a look to find another geocoder service (not from google).

Now, if update fail (geocoder or forecast), you have the indicator, and it will update faster (refresh period / 5).

Keep it running without interaction, I'm sure it will update.

another strange thing : line 104 - state: DISCONNECTED apnName: epc.tmobile.com reason: dataDisabled

have you disabled data ?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Thank you !

I'll do my best to improve it and add new features :)

Think to donation. I want to keep it free, but I need donation to register it on Market (even 1$, it helps). See first page for paypal account.
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
maybe you should query the server twice, because if I update the 2nd time, it always gets the location successfully.

The logcat is from "adb logcat" and its consecutive. one after the other. No gaps in between messages.

I don't know why the "datadisabled" message is there because I never disabled data. It was always on wifi.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I'll prefere to change service :/

By the way, I've just published on Android market !!!!!!!! Youhouuuu !
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I have a different behaviour...

I can ask for 10 consecutive updates without succes when it's blocked...
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
BETA : SkyInternationalKoxx-111b.apk

try to call geocoder in a separated task... can you test dwang ?

link REMOVED
[G1 Apps and Games] <blank>:
i seem to be getting force closes if my sd card is unmounted and i have the htc skin specified. i'm assuming it's because it can't find the skin files?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
2 importants things :

- skins works fine but you have to get file ressources package from first page.

- a major change occurs in the lastest versions : they are signed ! you have to completly uninstall the older widget (by configuration pannel), before installing the new one (replace is not possible).
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
please do not try 111b. This is just for test.

is this is not 111b. uninstall everything first app & widget from desk.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I had the same problem yesterday, you forget this version, I doesn't works better.

Can you try to checkout the project and compile it ? it will be easier to work together than exchanging versions...
[G1 Apps and Games] Malix82:
how exactly are the skins supposed to work o_O

I tried putting them to:

/sdcard/skinname

/sdcard/skins/skinname

/sdcard/org.jsharkey.sky/skinname

/sdcard/org.jsharkey.sky/skins/skinname

all I get is a force close.

what am I missing? do I write the full path to the skin or just the skin name to the text input in the configuration or what o_O
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
arghh .... You have to uncompress the ressource file (from first page) with ALL the structure !

you should have : /sdcard/org.jsharkey.sky/skins/htc/*.png

and set "htc" as skin.

send logcat to show me the problem.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I post a new thread for skins here :

[G1 Apps and Games] Malix82:
...oh my, I feel SO retarded right now.

The only skin I actually tried was the one you linked from deviantArt on the first page, now that I actually tried another skin, it worked like a charm.

Wonder how the thought of trying another skin never crossed my mind earlier xD

serious case of user retardation here, program works as intended.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
lol... no problem :D

- skin selector

- reconfiguration possible ! (click on weather informations in details panel)

- bug corrections (113 instable)

can anybody translate it in another language ?
[G1 Apps and Games] uberingram:
I can't help with language things but I just wanted to post to say I am SUPER impressed with this project. I've been following since day one and it keeps getting better. :D

If I could get TMobile to fix their location services on 3G towers I will be a happy camper.
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
When I get a chance I'll try to set up the android environment. I don't actually know java (i'm an embedded systems C programmer), so it may take me a while to get up to speed.
[G1 Apps and Games] daveid:
Can you make it so the directory for the skins starts with a . for hidden, so it doesn't show all the pictures in my Gallery? It is pretty annoying the way it is now, thanks. Never mind, I just changed the skin name directories to have a . in front of them, should solve that. ;)

Edit - yup, problem solved, maybe you can let people know of this in the first post? And reconfigure the zipped skins so they have the . in front of the skin name directory such as:

/sdcard/org.sharkey.sky/skins/.default

and so forth.

I did the 1x1 widget, allows me to put two different cities where I would normally have one showing, gotta love space saving!
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
I have to agree completely. This is without a doubt one of my must-have apps.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Thanks, I spend a lot of time on it (my first android dev).

I am now a software team manager, so I don't code anymore in my job, and it's a shame for me ;) So, I code for others ! hehe.

I work for embedded projects too (vxWorks, LynxOS, Linux RT ...).

good idea for "." folders. It arrives too late for main folder. but for skins name, it's fine. I'll rename folder in ZIP ressource file.

For everybody, if you have any idea for the widget, post it ! I'll try to realize it !

And not donation :(
[G1 Apps and Games] uberingram:
No offense but that Active Install number is going to drop like a rock after a few weeks. That's about the average shelf life for an app when 90% of Android's userbase are idiots.

Fantastic work, and the HTC skin is just beautiful.

I have a request about the widget, I do not have a data plan and use Wifi when i can, is there a way to allow me to force update the weather?

I'd like to be able to click on the widget and have it update at that moment.
[G1 Apps and Games] BSDADON:
When you click on it it opens up another window and the top bar is for refreshing manually
[G1 Apps and Games] flixxx:
hehehe awesome, thanks ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
will be added to information panel ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] biAji:
Wow！ The new HTC theme rocks.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
IMPORTANT :

application name changed to "Forecast weather widget"

reason : package name changed from "org.jsharkey.sky" to "org.koxx.forecast_weather".

skin folder on sdcard should be renamed to respect that !
[G1 Apps and Games] BSDADON:
Everytime I go to add the widget now I get a force close. All my other widgets are working fine, and I uninstalled the old version before installing the new one. Also renamed the folder. Any ideas?

Sorry!

new version released 1.3.0

130 : major update (add day/nigh icons for skins, improve large widget layout in portrait, add download link for skins, show remaning time before next update, show date & time of last update).

This version is now free for 3 days. The unlocker app (org.koxx.forecast_weather_unlocker) is available on the market for 0.99€.
[G1 Apps and Games] Malix82:
Yay, nice update, though one teeny tiny issue. Even after unlocking the app, there is a red text telling me to go buy the unlocker.

What I did was:

1. the 1.3.0 widget was installed

2. installed the unlocker

(edit: 2.5. ran the unlocker to be sure)

3. manually updated the widget

4. reinstalled widget

5. still red text.

or is this as it was intended to be? =)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
i'll correct that :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
updated to 1.3.1 :

- hide "buy" banner for registered users

- new icon for update problem
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Explanation for free/unlocked versions : original code comes from jeffrey sharkey, it was distributed under Apache licence. This licence allow developers to use code for commercial or non commercial use (such as WebSphere based on Apache). I worked A LOT on this widget more than 80h. This is the reason why i fell free to create this new distribution.
